Most of the other clubs across the country will want a stadium as modern as Everton’s, and Wagner promised he’d provide Birmingham fans with something even better.
On Thursday evening, those plans were revealed and it is clear that the American billionaire has big aspirations for his new stadium.

It is certainly something that fans have not seen before in the various plans for new stadiums such as Everton’s and even Tottenham Hotspur’s.

The plans shared on Thursday evening showcased the 62,000 capacity ‘Powerhouse Stadium’, which would put it on par with Tottenham’s.
It has been suggested by some reports that Everton could increase their capacity to 62,000, but that has not been confirmed by the club.
Which do you prefer, the Hill Dickinson Stadium or Goodison Park?

Other suggestions have claimed Everton’s stadium could increase to around 57,000 with some seating adjustments.
Regardless, Everton’s new home is doing exactly what they had hoped for as the club finally look ready to take the next step in their development under the Friedkins.
